Don’t Break the Ice

I think one of the best things about
being a parent is teaching our little loves the things we did as kids. We got Z
the game Don’t Break the Ice. I
remember playing this with my brothers when we were little. Simple game, yet so
much fun.

A couple times recently I have been
caught saying I wish my great grandparents could teach me how they did this. I
learn best by having someone walk me through it. I’m managing to get by with
reading and adapting, but if only they could teach me. Of course this can no longer happen as
the last of my great grandparents died six years ago.

So, all that said, take time in the day
to teach your kids the things you know. It used to be that the children would
learn their parents’ skills and take up the business when the parents were old.
Now a days it seems that most kids can’t wait to get away from their parents.

About

Who am I? I'm a wife, mom, a gal who desires to be healthy, and someone who learned to love her self. I am a simple girl with a love for life, a love for Jesus, a love for my family. I desire to live in a simpler way and to enjoy doing it. I play with makeup for a living and love to get lost in the woods. I desire to live without conventional boundaries so as to enjoy every moment I'm given on this earth.
